New Trial “Courtesy Spots” Make Uptown Dropoff/Pickups Easier To accommodate the growing popularity of carryout and ride-share services to the Uptown area, the City has designated eight “courtesy” parking spaces. With a 10-minute limit, these eight spaces help make finding a drop-off/pickup spot easy. “We want to make sure we are accommodating the evolving needs of those who want to dine and shop in Uptown. Our intent is to keep these spots readily available at peak times for high turnover use,” said Jennifer Alford, Westerville Traffic Engineer. The new spots are located in parking lots A, B, E and F and are marked with special signage. Alford says they will be available through the end of the year, at which time the City will review the use and compliance with the parking spot terms. “If the spots are used consistently as intended, then we’ll know they are providing value to the community,” Alford said. Parking spot use will be tracked by the new occupancy sensors installed by Fybr this spring. Learn more about parking improvements in Uptown and find a map of these newly designated trial spaces at www.westerville.org/uptown.
